Augmentation of the Pullout Repair of a Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear by Arthroscopic Centralization.

ABSTRACT: The meniscus roots are critical for meniscus function in preserving correct knee kinematics and avoiding meniscus extrusion and, consequently, in the progression of osteoarthritis. Several techniques exist for medial meniscus posterior root tear repair; however, current surgical techniques have been proved to fail to reduce meniscus extrusion, which has been shown to be associated with development of osteoarthritis, although significant improvements in the postoperative clinical findings have been achieved. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic technique for the medial meniscus posterior root tear in which a pullout repair is augmented by a centralization technique to restore and maintain the medial meniscus function by efficiently reducing meniscus extrusion.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair with Centralization Using Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tears can lead to rapid progression of knee arthritis because of loss of the stress distribution function of the meniscus. Medial meniscus root repair can restore stress distribution and improve clinical outcome. In cases of medial meniscus root tears with meniscal extrusion, centralization may help reduce extrusion and protect the root repair. Presented here is a technique for transtibial medial meniscus root repair with centralization using knotless suture anchors, building on previously developed techniques.

Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Repair Using a 2-Simple-Suture Pullout Technique.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tear is one of the underestimated knee injuries in terms of incidence. Despite its grave sequelae, using simple but effective technique can maintain the native knee joint longevity. In the current note, a 2-simple-suture pullout technique was used to effectively reduce the meniscus posterior root to its anatomic position. The success of the technique depended on proper tool selection as well as tibial tunnel direction that allowed easier root suturing and better suture tensioning, without inducing any iatrogenic articular cartilage injury or meniscal tissue loss. Using anterior knee arthroscopy portals, anterolateral as a viewing portal and anteromedial as a working portal, a 7-mm tibial tunnel starting at Gerdy tubercle and ending at the medial meniscus posterior root bed was created. The 2 simple sutures were retrieved through the tunnel and tensioned and secured over a 12-mm-diameter washer at the tibial tunnel outer orifice. Anatomic reduction of the medial meniscus posterior root tear was confirmed arthroscopically intraoperatively and radiologically by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging.

Pullout Repair Associated With a Bridging Suture Using FiberLink for the Medial Meniscus Posterior Horn/Root Tear.

Project description:Transtibial pullout repair for the medial meniscus (MM) posterior root tear has become the gold standard. However, an optimal repair technique has not yet been established for MM posterior horn (MMPH) tear with a sufficient root remnant. We describe a pullout repair technique associated with a bridging suture using FiberLink (Arthrex, Naples, FL) for the MMPH tear. In this bridging suture technique, the simple cinch stitch is applied to the root remnant and MMPH. The loop end of the FiberLink is inserted into the MMPH, and its free-end is inserted into the root remnant. Next, the suture is tensioned and tied on the superior surface of the MMPH. The bridging suture and the additional simple stitch applied to the MMPH are pulled out through the tibial tunnel and fixed to the tibia on an expected tension. This technique might lead to better meniscal healing of the tear site, because it involves bridging of the MMPH and root remnant, and lower risk of suture cut-out owing to the biomechanical strength.

Suture Anchor Repair for a Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Combined With Arthroscopic Meniscal Centralization and Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) is now attracting increased attention as a risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis. However, the healing rate after root repair by the suture anchor technique or the pull-out technique is still low. Here we report on a technique of MMPRT repair using suture anchor combined with arthroscopic meniscal centralization and open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). The purposes of this technique are (1) to distribute the meniscal hoop tension between the root repair site and the centralization site and (2) to reduce the load on medial meniscus by OWHTO. The routine exposure for OWHTO with superficial medial collateral ligament release creates good visualization for arthroscopic root repair. The first anchor is inserted on the medial edge of the medial tibial plateau, and the second anchor is inserted on the root attachment through a posteromedial portal. After tying the knots, OWHTO could be performed without interference between the suture anchors and the screws of the plate for fixing the osteotomy. Although further follow-up is required, this technique could improve the outcomes after root repair, as well as have some technical advantages.

Arthroscopic Transtibial Pull-Out Repair of Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear With a Whip Running Suture Technique.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tear is a disruptive injury causing significant sequelae. Several techniques to repair and maintain the native function of the medial meniscus have been introduced, but limitations have been reported in terms of their results. In this current note, the authors introduce the arthroscopic transtibial pull-out repair with whip running suture technique, which may not only avoid the potential risk of meniscus cut-through by the suture material but also optimize the reduction of the extruded meniscus. By suturing the posteromedial capsule and peripheral meniscus, more medialization force can be directly applied to the extruded part of the meniscus, and normal hoop tension can be restored.

Knotless Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair.

Project description:Medial meniscus posterior root tears are common injuries, especially in the Asian world. This injury must be repaired where indicated to restore knee biomechanics and prevent arthritis. Suturing the meniscus using suture tapes provides good hold of the tissue. The use of a 70° arthroscope and creation of a transseptal portal improve visualization of the posterior compartment. Creation of a high posteromedial portal achieves the correct trajectory for the suture anchor insertion. A knotless suture anchor can be used to fix the posterior root at its anatomic attachment site. This obliterates the need for transtibial drilling for a suture pull-out repair or for knot tying and suture shuttling as for a conventional suture anchor.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Root Repair With Soft Suture Anchor Without Posterior Portal Technique.

Project description:Medial meniscal root injury is known to cause an increase in tibiofemoral contact pressure and results in early osteoarthritis. There have been many reports on meniscal root repairing techniques, which can be categorized into 2 groups. One is transosseous suture, and the other is anchor suture repair. Both techniques show improvement in not only clinical performance, but also radiographic finding. However, the meniscal root repair procedure must be performed by experienced physicians. Most techniques require a posteromedial portal, which takes time and may even complicate the procedure. The technique proposed in this study provides a simple procedure in which no posteromedial portal is required and a soft anchor suture, a commonly used suture in glenolabral repair, is used. The use of this suture, instead of the conventional anchor suture, is believed to lessen possible injury to the cartilage and results in easier revision surgery.

Association between postoperative meniscal extrusion and clinical outcomes of the pullout fixation technique for medial meniscus posterior root tear.

Project description:Objective:To evaluate the correlation between meniscal extrusion in the coronal plane with clinical and radiological outcomes at a minimum of 1 year after transtibial pullout fixation for medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT). Methods:Data from 30 patients (five males, 25 females) with MMPRT who underwent arthroscopic root fixation by the transtibial pullout technique between 2011 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean patient age was 60.7 ± 8.3years. The median time between injury and surgery was 3.8 months (range, 0.5-15 months). Medial meniscus radial displacement was assessed on magnetic resonance imaging performed preoperatively and at 1 year after fixation. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence on magnetic resonance imaging of decreased meniscal extrusion (group A) or increased meniscal extrusion (group B) at 1 year postoperatively compared with preoperatively. The two groups were compared regarding factors including age at surgery, sex, body mass index, time between injury and surgery, and the Lysholm score and Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively. Results:There were seven knees in group A, and 23 in group B. Both groups had a significantly improved Lysholm score postoperatively compared with preoperatively (p < 0.001). Although the postoperative K-L grade was significantly worse than the preoperative K-L grade in group B (p < 0.001), the postoperative K-L grade did not worsen postoperatively in group A. Conclusion:The K-L grade did not worsen postoperatively in the group with decreased meniscal extrusion at 1 year after transtibial pullout fixation for MMPRT compared with preoperatively.

Meniscus Root Tear: Extended Classification and Arthroscopic Repair Techniques.

Project description:The meniscus root is an attachment of the anterior and posterior horns of the meniscus onto the tibia, and its primary function is to prevent extrusion under axial load. Meniscus root tear constitutes 15% to 20% of meniscus tear. With the increased incidence of root tears being diagnosed commonly, many newer morphologic patterns of root tears have been detected, and the need to extend the conventional classification arises. At the same time, preserving the meniscus root necessitates novel techniques to repair this newer pattern. In this Technical Note, we describe the extended classification of root tears and arthroscopic repair techniques to achieve stable and secure fixation of meniscus roots.

Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Reconstruction Using Auto-Gracilis Tendon.

Project description:There have been several techniques to repair the medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) with the goal of restoring the anatomic and firm fixation of the meniscal root to bone. Many anatomic studies about the menisci also have been developed, so a better understanding of the anatomy could help surgeons perform correct fixation of the MMPRTs. The meniscal roots have ligament-like structures that firmly attach the menisci to the tibial plateau, and this structural concept is important to restore normal biomechanics after anatomic root repair. We present arthroscopic transtibial medial meniscus posterior root reconstruction using auto-gracilis tendon.
